What happened after Man v. Food?

On Man v. Food (S3E6, aired 2010-07-14), Adam Richman took on the 22-inch 'Big Unit' hot dog, a signature challenge item named for Diamondbacks pitcher Randy Johnson, at Alice Cooperstown in downtown Phoenix. The sports bar and restaurant, co-owned by musician Alice Cooper, opened in December 1998 near Chase Field with the slogan 'where jocks and rock meet.' Phoenix New Times and KTAR reported that the restaurant closed unexpectedly on 2017-10-22 after nearly 20 years in business, with managing partner Shep Gordon citing a slowdown in the surrounding downtown area rather than any single cause. Google Places records the 101 E Jackson St address as permanently closed, consistent with that reporting. Wikipedia also flags the business as closed, though that entry itself was not used as a source here.
